Video Transcript for Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Secure Core Endcaps Review
Hi there roof rack owners. Today, we're gonna be taking a look and showing you how to replace your regular caps with the Locking Core Rhino-Rack caps for the Vortex Aero Bars. To replace your end caps, you simply need to remove your old end cap. And they just pull right out of there. They're just a friction fit. So nice and quick and easy to get those old ones off.
Our new ones just slide into place. We do wanna make sure it's in the unlocked position. And it will be unlocked if that is long ways there. You also can see on it, your lock pictures, there's an unlock and a lock picture there at the top. We want those to be in the upright position, so we can easily see those and read those.
And then just slide our cap into place. We can then use our key to lock it into position. And now we can not remove it. So this is a quick and easy upgrade to provide a level of security for your accessories that you've installed onto your Aero Bars. And it's really nice for all those t-track accessories that you're planning on using.
Cause anybody could just take the end cap loose and slide your stuff right out the t-track if you don't have 'em. This way, somebody really has to fight in order to remove them. Less they bust this off here somehow in order to remove it, it's gonna greatly increase the amount of time it takes them to walk away with your gear. Hopefully, alerting somebody of their presence. Or just scaring 'em away because they saw that this is gonna be more work than they want to put into it.
This is a set of four. So you're gonna get one for each side of each of your Aero Bars. We'll go ahead and pull it off of there, so you can take a closer look. So we're gonna unlock it. And slide it on out of there. And here we can see there's the lock mechanism there. And it does just rotate with the key. On the other side, there's the close ups of the positions. So you can see how those are. The word is straight up and down. That's unlocked. And then when the words are upright, when you can read them, that will be locked position there. And you can see it is a friction fit, just like the other one. So even if you don't have it locked, it'll stay in place when you're going down the road. The lock is more there just for security for your t-track accessories. It is gonna be a complete plastic assembly. Even the lock is plastic. But it will still provide a level of security for your system. Also included, you'll get two keys. It's nice to have two keys. That way you can keep one on your key chain and stuff, when you're rolling around. But that way you also have a spare that you can either keep in the vehicle or keep it home. In the event that you do lose a key, you can still have that backup to be able to get your accessories off. And that completes our replacement of the regular end caps with our locking end caps for the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Bars..

Durable polypropylene endcaps with plastic lock cores and universal keys help to deter theft of accessories mounted in the channels of your Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars. Endcaps snap on for easy installation. 2 Keys included.by: Donald04/25/2024
Received crossbars when promised. Installation was straightforward. Was missing a couple parts. Informed company and they responded quickly with replacement parts. Very pleased.

I wish the description had mentioned that you had to drill holes and put rivets in the roof. I didn't want to do this for the first time myself and went to 3 shops that all refused to do so because they didn't want to be responsible for any leaks. I'm sure they are fine if you are willing to install them yourself. I ended up ordering the OEM rack and installing that myself. It used the pre-existing threaded mounts.
by: Rob05/26/2023
The bars are perfect for what I needed. Thule doesn't make a roof rack for my 2023 Cadillac XT6 but Rhino. Ordered the pieces separately because I need 65 inch bars instead of the 46 inch bars in the complete kit. My Thule Hulavators interface perfectly with these bars! Through no fault of etrailer, the post office managed to damage the packaging (I know, shocking right?) but etrailer sent me the missing caps the next day. Score one for etrailer.

It was great to find a replacement for the end-cap on my Rhino Rack for a good price. Te product was packaged nicely in a new box and delivered on time. Etrailer was a great source for this spare part.

I am very happy with the purchase of my Rhino Rack crossbar for my Toyota Tacoma. I added it because the Yakima Rack on my 5' bed did not hold my kayak in the position I wanted. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of wind noise after reading numerous complaints of whistling at hwy speeds.
by: Andrew01/04/2024
I think these look better than the OEM rack that I ended up installing...however, using them would have required drilling my roof and putting rivets in. I went to 3 shops that refused to do so because they didn't want to be responsible for any leaks.

Great service, excellent product.

Arrived on time and perfect application
by: Daniel 04/16/2023
I actually ordered this kit because I needed the key only. Checked online in multiple places and everyone was either out of stock for just the key or this kit. Even Rhinorack was out of stock on the key. Etrailer had it a shipped it promptly.
by: Javier 06/02/2023
Product is the exact replacement needed to fit my Aero bars. I only needed one but they're sold as a pack. This is OK as I'll probably need the others at some point. I do wish they locked more securely...
by: Arthur 08/18/2023
I lost an end cap so I needed a replacement and these fit perfectly.
by: Gary 05/02/2023
Item was hard to find, but etrailer had it in stock. Very reasonable price, and they don’t over charge on shipping. I’m very happy with my buying experience at Etrailer.
by: Thomas10/05/2022
They only fit the completely anodized crossbar. When I ordered two 1260 crossbars, one came completely anodized (or coated) inside and out. The other came uncoated on the inside. The end caps fit the completely coated crossbar, but they don't fit the uncoated one.
by: Kit10/16/2016
The original end caps that came with the Rhino Rack fell out. The replacement end caps fit great but the locks do not lock very well. So, I had to order another set because 2 of the last replacement set fell out on the highway. I will glue in the replacements.
The Pricing & delivery from etrailer were 5 star.

End caps are still working great. However, the locks still not working very well so I duct taped them in place.
by: Nick07/29/2023
Regardless of how much attention I give to putting these on and regardless of how hard I torque them into place, they pop off.
by: Michael 07/18/2023
Order processing and shipping was fast and easy. Thank you.
by: D K 02/23/2016
Fit my rack perfectly. etrailer pricing and fast shipping is excellent!
Hopefully the plastic lock mechanisms will hold up better than the original metal ones. I ordered these because the metal locks corroded and I had to drill out and destroy them to remove the rack from my car.
by: Darren10/13/2022
My shipping was super fast! Rack was slightly damaged from shipping. A new part to replace the damaged part was promptly sent out for me. Very happy with the service.
by: Randall03/19/2022
One end cap arrived damage from the box end opening during shipping. etrailer fixed it immediately by sending a replacement. Design of the bars is very good and they are easy to install and center. Very happy.
by: Jeannine05/08/2023
Thank you so much! Exactly what I needed and they arrived very quickly!

Robert S. was very helpful in helping me order replacement parts for my Rhino Racks. We figured out what I needed, placed the order and the parts arrived sooner than I expected.

Three of the four original end caps fell out and were lost. Bad design.

- Key Replacement for the End Caps on the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero CrossbarsI have a solution for you. Rhino-Rack offers replacement end caps with keys for their Vortex Aero Bars. The Rhino-Rack # RRVA-SEC4 will include 4 new end caps and 2 plastic keys. However, I would get remove your current plastic end caps and install # RRVA-LEC4. These end caps include metal lock cylinders and 2 metal keys. The # RRVA-LEC4 end caps will be more secure and a stronger option over the plastic locking end caps.

view full answer... - Are There Replacement Plastic Keys for Rhino-Rack End Caps for Vortex Aero BarsI may have a solution for you, but replacement keys for the Rhino-Rack Secure Core Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Plastic Cores - Qty 4 # RRVA-SEC4 are only sold with the end caps and not separately. If you're going this route you may want to go with metal locking end caps, which are available with the Rhino-Rack Locking Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Metal Cores - Qty 4 # RRVA-LEC4.
view full answer... - Can Plastic Lock Cores on Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars Be RemovedAre you talking about the plastic lock cores that came on the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars you purchased from us about a year ago? The plastic "locks" are really just in place to help keep the end caps from flying off of the crossbar during travel. I'm sure you can punch out the lock core but then that defeats the purpose. If the plastic tab on the inside that "locks" the end cap into place is damaged then you can replace your end caps with the same plastic locks as part # RRVA-SEC4...
view full answer... - Replacement End Caps For Rhino Rack Vortex Aero CrossbarsWe do indeed offer replacement end caps, part # RRVA-SEC4. These caps actually secure using an included universal key. If you wanted end caps that secured using a uniquely keyed lock, use part # RRVA-LEC4. Either way, the caps would secure into place, with no worry about them coming loose.

After I spoke with Rhino Rack I was able to find a display model that had this end cap. I measured it to verify that the dimensions were correct.

view full answer... - End Cap Will Not Stay In Vortex Aero CrossbarIt sounds like there is either a defect with the end caps or they have been damaged. In any case they would need to be replaced. If they are defective you can either reach out to the manufacturer or vendor directly for a replacement or if they were damaged by the end user you would need to replace them yourself using the Rhino-Rack Secure Core Endcaps part # RRVA-SEC4. There is also an option for metal locks, the Rhino-Rack Locking Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars part # RRVA-LEC4 which...

- Replacement End Caps for Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support BarTo replace the end caps for the crossbar that comes with the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar # RTL002 you need the Secure Core Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA-SEC4. These are a little different than what the bar came with as they have plastic lock cores that come with them, but these are what will fit your crossbar. Unfortunately Rhino-Rack doesn't offer a direct replacement with the smooth ends, but this still gets the job done.
